Currently planning a new rig: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Fm7xcq

 

I thought about going up to 3950x but then i really only game on it anyways not sure if i really need that much power. So I settled for 3700x, I am debating about 2080 ti vs super though, but then it seems like its only roughly 10%ish performance gain vs almost 40% price difference which is quite significant.

 

As for power supply I went with a higher rated one just in case I add anything stupid later / using it for future more powerful rig.

 

So I am wondering if there is anything that I can cut some corners / better upgrades from a price vs performance stand point?

 

Please give me your opinion, I am very new to system building.

You do not need a 1000W psu. You would in fact have a difficult time reaching that need with any sort of sane gaming build. A 550W or 650W is more than enough.

 

The 360 aio isn't necessary. Given the case I suppose it's understandable.

 

I don't see a price on the memory. Unless it is on a fantastic sale, ddr4-4400 is not worth the cost.

 

I'd suggest a better motherboard.

Personally I'd go with a higher wattage unit in case of any significant overclock done.

Yeah thats why I chose the 1000W one in case I add a second card in there or something thats power hungry, plus from what I've heard so far, a higher rated PSU wouldnt need to work as hard so its a lot more quiet/efficient? I think I've heard it from JayzTwoCents. I honestly don't even know if it is true but that makes a lot of sense to me hahahha.

The ram kit is a gift from my cousin so it will be free yes. I originally chose that aio based on what people said about 9900K vs 3900x/3950x and a lot of them recommended aio instead of air cooling since those cpu are stupid hot under significant load. I guess it makes sense to go back to air since I downgraded it to 3700x now?? I will keep that in mind for sure!

You also mentioned given the case you supposed it is understandable. I am a little confused, does that mean the case I picked earlier has bad air flow or something? I saw it on gamer nexus and thought that was a bad ass looking case, but I did not consider about the functionality at all.....which I probably should have done instead, lol

The case is fine. My comment refers to the design of the case with respect to fan/radiator mounts.

Lucky you. It would be helpful if that was mentioned in the OP. Also, one can mark items as already purchased in pcpartpicker.

Nothing is purchased yet, I'm waiting for black Friday to pull the trigger, I have the ram kit because my cousin is planning to upgrade as well so I'll have his old kit so everything is just a rough draft right now
